A Way To Reach You
Lucien took a deep breath, standing in front of Amane's room, feeling groggy and apprehensive. The room was in a quiet corner of the mansion, a place meant for healing and rest.
The mansion, situated on the outskirts of the village, had become a refuge for his family after their old house was burned down. It was also the temporary residence for the Sanctus Iudex, Tritons, and his sister, Charlotte.
From outside the room, Lucien could hear a soft chanting in a language he couldn't understand. It was a woman's voice, probably Charlotte, trying to 'guide' his mother's soul through the 'void.'
He sighed, feeling the urge to turn around and leave. But just as he was about to make his escape, he saw Tritons approaching.
The Sanctus Iudex smiled at him, making Lucien feel cornered and unable to back down.
